the romney campaign is basically losing. it's basically a wash. the kpanl starts grasping for other things and that's why we're hearing -- >> romney is ahead over veterans 20 percentage points. maybe they're seeing some kind of opening there to talk about war. >> republicans have long had an advantage with veterans. i would add something that steve said. a tough couple of weeks. they saw something. they could seize on and get a little bit of -- go on the offense a little bit, get their mojo back which i'm sure they seized on. i don't think the bumps in the road is one that's going to get much traction for a couple of reasons. first of all when they hear that, it doesn't resonate with them as something that's really that off kilter. he wasn't talking about ambassador stevens' death. he was talking in general about the situation in the middle east. the other thing is a gaffe or attack is effective when it's something they already feel. so mitt romney's comments about the 47%. they go straight to the electorate that this guy is an arrogant condescend
